James Dromgoole came from Tenn. with Philip Alston, whose daughter he had married, and settled at Alston's Station on the Red River about 1785. After three years he established his own station here on the Nashville to Russellville route, building Dromgoole's Station in 1788 as one of several stations erected in this area. In Nov. 1818, Dromgoole Station's name changed to Adairville.
